How do I access the Training Center?
From the Main Menu
- Select (Main Menu > Training Center).
- Then, choose something you would like to learn about. We'd recommend starting with the tutorials.
From the Pause Menu
- Open the pause menu (Esc Key/Options/Menu button).
- Navigate to the Help tab.
- Now you have a choice of Basic Operations/Train Operations
- Some of these will be written guides you can read while playing, others will jump you straight to the relevant tutorial, so there is a risk of losing progress if you don't save the game first.
